A photograph taken from above of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a gilded backrest. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and a white tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair. Before the throne, a man in a white shirt kneels beside a second man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border, who has his hands folded in prayer. Gold plates hold orange and yellow flowers, marigold petals, red blossoms and oil-lamp-style offerings arranged for puja. A lit brass oil lamp stands behind the throne against a black wall, and a partially visible woman sits at the lower right edge.
